I have been growing orchids for 15+ years now. In 2008, I took my first lesson in Sogetsu Ikebana. For me, growing orchids and creating Ikebana arrangements are my meditation. I created this blog to share my pictures and ideas with you. It is like my journal and helps me keep track of my progress.

Free Style Arrangement

Free style yet basic variation. All the materials were picked from my garden. There are the Crape myrtle branch, peony and lantern rose / ceramic vase

Without knowing what kind of materials we were going to use, everyone in the class must complete their arrangement within 25 minutes. Surprise! The materials were one hosta leave and one lily stem. They were provided by teacher Meei-Huey Lin.

The beautiful and fragrant flowering branch (I don't know its name) and azalea with bamboo basket.
